Simply Math

Display a set of 4 digit numbers. Before a student can add the four numbers, announce the sum to the amazement of your students. You could explain the strategy to a capable or prepared student who would become a math hero for your class. Simply print, cut, and glue 4 mental logs from two sheets of paper. A video explains how to create the four mental logs and then the strategy for knowing the sum of the four numbers at a glance! On the last page you'll find several ★ FREEBIES ★ to use both in

A quick and easy way to review computation, geometry, probability, number sense, and measurement. I've used this in a variety of ways: with individuals or teams of students at the start of our math class or as a challenge for my capable students. You might use it for distance learning. Have students complete the worksheet as a simple way to review many areas of math. The activity could be completed with a sheet of lined paper. Present a rectangle made from colorful squares. Students record

Investigate patterns created after you convert three letters to numbers. After you create a design you can decorate it with crayons or felt pens. This could easily be a distance activity, a team building activity, a challenge for a gifted student, or share with families at home or a math night. All you need is dot paper and a pencil. If students don't have dot paper at home they could place one sheet of lined paper rotated 90º over several sheets of lined paper. Instead of dots, students create

Challenge students with this puzzle that has three shapes that seem to be the same general size and shape BUT are not identical! Then they create their own puzzles using their tangram pieces. A simple worksheet (choose color or black line images) guides students through the activity. It can be a great way to spark interest in math especially when you're learning from home. I included solutions and tangrams that you can print and cut apart to make sets of tangrams that are the same size as the t

Use this game to practice matching equations to solutions. Choose from two different versions of the game. In one-step equations students match problems like 7 + x = 11 with x = 4 or 22 - 15 = x with x = 7. In two step equations students match 3x + 3 = 6 with x = 1 or 30 - 5x = 5 with x = 5. Just print, cut and bag cards and answer keys. When you have a few minutes of free time or students have earned a reward, it's easy to set up games to review solving equations. I color coded the answer ke
